Delta Skymiles Judged Best Frequent Traveler Program for Shuttle Passengers in the Northeast Corridor Airline Industry Analysis - Press Release Contact: Jay Sorensen IdeaWorks Company For inquiries: 414-961-1939 Delta SkyMiles Judged Best Frequent Traveler Program For Shuttle Passengers in the Northeast Corridor IdeaWorks compares the frequent traveler programs available to Delta Shuttle, US Airways Shuttle and Amtrak Acela passengers. May 26, 2004, Shorewood, WI—Delta Airlines comes out on top in an analysis of the frequent traveler programs available to passengers on shuttle services in the busy commuting corridor of Boston, New York and Washington, DC. The three programs surveyed were Delta SkyMiles, on The Delta Shuttle by Delta Air Lines; Dividend Miles, on the US Airways Shuttle by US Airways; and Guest Rewards, on Amtrak’s high-speed Acela trains. These carriers operate high frequency service, with a minimum of hourly departures, between the three Northeast cities. Each program was analyzed on the basis of seven categories representing key attributes for shuttle travelers, such as the number of paid shuttle trips required to earn a free ticket, the breadth of award travel options and the recognition given the most frequent travelers (“elite” status). Within the categories, scores were assigned each frequent traveler program, with the best program receiving the maximum score. The maximum scores vary for each category to reflect the relative importance of the attributes. By design, a perfect score of 100 points would indicate a program that offers the best benefits in each of the seven categories. The Delta SkyMiles program earned top honors with 79 points. Amtrak’s Guest Rewards placed second with a total of 72 points and the US Airways Dividend Miles program placed third with 66 points. Table 1 (see page 3 of this press release) lists the scores assigned in each category. - - more - - IdeaWorks Press Release – Page 2 “Approximately 5 million passenger trips occur each year in the shuttle markets,” said IdeaWorks president Jay Sorensen. “Our in-depth analysis has determined Delta SkyMiles is the best choice for those traveling in the Boston, New York and Washington shuttle markets. Travelers should also give special consideration to the frequent traveler program and high-speed Acela train service offered by Amtrak.” Though Delta’s is best overall, each program has distinct merits: Delta SkyMiles • Best global selection of carrier-operated award destinations, including Hawaii, Asia and South America—which are not served by US Airways or Amtrak. • Airline award choices include two major U.S. airlines (Northwest and Continental), Virgin Atlantic Airways and members of the SkyTeam alliance. • More than 60 participating hotel chains and 8 car rental companies as earning partners—the most among the 3 programs. • Top tier elite members enjoy free Delta Crown Room membership. • 25 paid roundtrips are required to earn a free shuttle roundtrip; special reduced mileage awards are not available for shuttle travel. • The most passenger space between seat rows in coach—but no first class cabin to provide upgrade benefits. Amtrak Guest Rewards • Only 15 paid roundtrips are required to earn a free Acela roundtrip—the most generous ratio among the 3 programs; 20 paid roundtrips are required to earn a free roundtrip ticket in Acela first class. • Points can be converted on a 1:1 ratio into mileage in the Continental, Midwest and United frequent flyer programs. • Only program offering hotel, restaurant and retail awards such as free Hilton stays, TGI Friday’s and Macy’s gift certificates. • Extremely limited partner earning opportunities; far fewer airlines, hotel and car rental choices than offered by Delta and US Airways. • Most departure choices among the shuttles with 120 daily weekday departures, 55 provided by high-speed Acela and Metroliner trains. - - more - - IdeaWorks Press Release – Page 3 US Airways Dividend Miles • Special seasonally-discounted mileage levels, such as a domestic roundtrip for only 2o,ooo miles (valid for travel September 15 through the end of February). • 25 paid roundtrips are required to earn a free shuttle roundtrip; special reduced mileage awards are not available for shuttle travel. • Powerful Star Alliance partnership that includes United Airlines and partner airline coverage for Europe, Asia, Africa and South America. • Generous upgrade policy for all elite levels and the only first class cabin offered by a shuttle airline. • 50% mileage bonus for bottom tier elite members; the best offered among the three programs. • Extreme financial uncertainty over the future of US Airways is an important factor to consider when accumulating miles in the program. The following table lists the scores assigned in the eight categories for each of the frequent traveler programs and the maximum number of points available in each category: Table 1: Program Scoring for each Category (High score in each category appears in brown bold font) Category Description Delta Air Amtrak US Airways Total Lines Guest Dividend Possible SkyMiles Rewards Miles Score Basic Awards: awards on shuttle routes and speed-of-earning 9 20 10 20 System Awards: domestic and international awards on the carrier’s system 20 6 14 20 Award Partners: redeeming credits with partners such as airlines, hotels and others such 13 15 12 15 as retailers.

  • Loyalty Programs: the Vital Safety Feature for Airlines to Survive COVID-19
    The current issue and full text archive of this journal is available on Emerald Insight at: https://www.emerald.com/insight/2516-8142.htm Airline loyalty Loyalty programs: the vital programs safety feature for airlines to survive COVID-19 Manuel E. Pascual Chaplin School of Hospitality and Tourism, Florida International University, Miami, Florida, USA, and Received 9 March 2021 Revised 13 April 2021 Lisa Nicole Cain Accepted 14 April 2021 Hospitality and Tourism Management, Florida International University Biscayne Bay Campus, North Miami, Florida, USA Abstract Purpose – The airline industry has been severely impacted by COVID-19 due to widespread travel restrictions. Its current response is crucial to ensure continued operations after the global pandemic is resolved. One resource the airlines are leveraging is loyalty programs. This study aims to examine the viability of leveraging loyalty programs in times of crisis. Design/methodology/approach – This study employs a case study methodology to examine how one company, American Airlines, has used its loyalty program to survive a pandemic and alleviate the financial costs associated with limited and restricted travel. Findings – American Airlines’ AAdvantage loyalty program structure may be used as a benchmark to understand how airlines can anchor their loyalty base to reinvigorate travel interest and use these programs as safeguards in critical instances that may arise in the future. Research limitations/implications – The case was bound by the fact that the pandemic was still a threat during the time of analysis. The findings of this case study go beyond the airline industry and may inform other hospitality and tourism organizations on the benefits of loyalty programs in times of financial distress.

    ***FISMA & OMB Memorandum M-07-16*** March 27,2012 Response ofthe Office of Chief Counsel Division of Corporation Finance Re: Delta Air Lines, Inc. Incoming letter received February 10, 2012 The proposal requests that the board initiate a program that prohibits payment, cash or equity, under any incentive program for management or executive officers unless there is an appropriate process to fund the retirement accounts (qualified and non­ qualified) ofDelta pilots who retired on or prior to December 13,2007. There appears to be some basis for your view that Delta may exclude the proposal under rule 14a-8(i)(7), as relating to Delta's ordinary business operations. In this regard, we note that, although the proposal mentions executive compensation, the thrust and focus ofthe proposal is on the ordinary business matter ofemployee benefits. Accordingly, we will not recommend enforcement action to the Commission ifDelta omits the proposal from its proxy materials in reliance on rule 14a-8(i)(7). In reaching this position, we have not found it necessary to address the alternative bases for omission upon which Delta relies. Sincerely, Erin Purnell Attorney-Adviser DIVISION OF CORPORATION FINANCE INFORMAL PROCEDURES REGARDING SHAREHOLDER PRQPOSALS The Division ofCorporation Finance believes that its responsibility witl:t respect to matters arising under Rule 14a-8 [17 CFR240.14a-8], as with other matters under the proxy rules, is to aid those who must comply With the rule by offering informal advice and suggestions and to determine, initially, whether or not it may be appropriate in a particular matter to. recommend enforcement action to the Commission.

  • Ideaworks Announces Client Relationships in the Travel and Cons
    Contact: Jay Sorensen For inquiries: 414-961-1939 Jay @ IdeaworksCompany.com Southwest, JetBlue Lead Average Reward Price Rankings Among Five Major US Frequent Flyer Programs Switchfly Reward Seat Availability Survey finds that pay-with-points change still yields similar reward price rankings. August 22, 2016, Shorewood, Wisconsin ─ Low-cost carriers Southwest and JetBlue continue to offer US flyers the lowest average reward seat pricing, despite an industry shift to dollar-based rather than mileage-based loyalty points accrual. The rankings for the two airlines mirror the results from 2015—and from the year before, when miles flown was the universal accrual method. These findings derive from the IdeaWorksCompany annual Switchfly Reward Seat Availability Survey. In May the firm released reward seat availability rankings for 25 of the world’s largest airlines. Today's analysis features average reward prices associated with US frequent flyer programs that use ticket prices, rather than miles flown, as an accrual method. Among these programs, the pay-with-points method used by Southwest and JetBlue yielded lower prices for short and medium haul reward travel. Until recently, American, Delta, and United based accrual on the distance flown—like most major airlines around the world. Now this is changing to a revenue-based method similar to JetBlue and Southwest. Among low economy fare passengers, who don’t have elite tier status, JetBlue's TrueBlue and Southwest's Rapid Rewards programs offer higher accrual at 6 points per dollar compared to the rate of 5 miles per dollar offered by the others. This is combined with lower average reward prices, Southwest being the lowest at 10,182 points per roundtrip reward.
